A Trek for the Troops: A report on my trip to Riverside Iowa's TREK FEST XXII (Jerome A. Holst © 2006)

The parade color guard stands to attention as the "National Anthem" blares from a nearby loudspeaker. Rifle shots then alert the crowd that the parade has begun.

High School band dressed in bright green entertains the crowd. The logo on their shirts read "Spock Is My Homeboy."

A convoy of Fire Trucks and Rescue Vehicles line the parade

Members of the Riverside Star Trek Fan Club distribute candy to the kids who line the parade route.
